Chaminda Vaas, the former Sri Lankan
paceman, will assist Ireland in their
preparation for the T20 WC in the
capacity of a bowling consultant,
Cricket Ireland announced on
Thursday (January 21).
"I'm very excited to be joining the
backroom staff of the Ireland team,"
Vaas said. "There's a lot of talent and
experience in the squad which I'm
confident I can add to."
Vaas, who represented Sri Lanka in
111 Tests and 322 One-Day
Internationals having accumulated
755 wickets across formats, will
remain with the Ireland squad until
the end of the tournament.
"I've played with and against some
of the guys during my time in county
cricket with Middlesex and
Northants. I'm relishing the prospect
of sharing the knowledge and
experience I've picked up during my
20-plus years in the game."
John Bracewell, Ireland's head coach,
recognises the prowess and wealth
of experience that Vaas brings along
with him. "It's great to have
Chaminda with us through the build-
up as well as during the T20 WC," he
said. "I have long been an admirer of
his skills and like all the Sri Lankan
cricketers of his era he was a great
problem-solver.
"His ability to get wickets in all forms
of the game especially on the
subcontinent was extraordinary. This
experience will be invaluable to our
bowling group."
In the first round of the tournament,
Ireland will face Bangladesh, Oman
and the Netherlands.http://m.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/77438/chaminda-vaas-appointed-irelands-bowling-consultant-for-wt20

Sri Lanka news February 20, 2013 Chaminda Vaas appointed Sri Lanka's fast bowling coach

Sri Lanka Cricket has appointed Chaminda Vaas as national fast bowling coach for two years, after weeks of negotiations with the former left-arm fast bowler. Muttiah Muralitharan has also come on board with the Sri Lanka coaching staff in an advisory capacity, and has already been working with the spin bowlers in the side, in the lead up to the upcoming home series against Bangladesh. 



Vaas had expressed an interest in taking the role when SLC approached him in January, but was underwhelmed with the pay the board had offered him. The parties eventually reached an agreement late on Wednesday evening.

"We concluded successful negotiations with Vaas, where we discussed things like pay and his role in the coaching unit," SLC chief executive Ajit Jayasekara said. "He will be the head fast bowling coach, with the present coaches Champaka Ramanayake and Anusha Samaranayake working under him. He has taken so many wickets for Sri Lanka, and we are very happy to have concluded our talks to get him into the job. Vaas will also oversee the country's pace bowling academies."

SLC had hoped to sign Muralitharan as a full-time coach as well, but as he still plays in various domestic Twenty20 leagues, he could not commit to that position. Muralitharan is the most successful bowler in the history of the game, leading the Test and ODI wicket-takers lists, with 800 and 534 scalps respectively. Vaas is Sri Lanka's most successful fast bowler, with 355 Test wickets and 400 ODI wickets. 


In addition to the coaching appointments, SLC also appointed Michael de Zoysa as the new team manager for one year, filling the position vacated by Charith Senanayake, whose deteriorating relationship with the board in recent weeks led to his replacement and resignation. De Zoysa has been involved in cricket administration with Sri Lanka's premier clubs, most notably Sinhalese Sports Club, has been a radio and TV commentator, and was also a tea industry executive.

This latest round of appointments came amid a slew of personnel changes at SLC, who also appointed two new captains and a new selection panel in the last month. A new cief executive will also come on board in April, and the positions of president, secretary and treasurer will be contested in the SLC elections late in March.
